Ask me about Proposition 305


Do you like muskets?

Professor Bling posted:

Well the CE thread got closed because apparently we're not allowed to disagree with banning guns? so why not talk about it here instead, since it seems like another topic mods don't want to deal with

Did I say "don't talk about this" or did I say "let's take a break?"

People were winding up a poster who was still able to articulate his argument while clearly being emotional about it, which is something you've never been able to figure out.

It was that or a carpet bombing. Weird how you're only okay with less collateral damage when it benefits you.

Maybe articulating this somewhere other than the discord would be a good idea, then, eh?

Because for folks without access to the discord it just looks like you shut it down for no real reason, rather than this actually very decent reason (follow-up personal attack notwithstanding)

That's... not the point of that post?

Edit: I'm just saying that "Let's take a break" without further explanation tends to confuse people, and when the actual rationalization for it is in the GiP discord but not in the thread then it kind of defeats the purpose.


I get that GiP is tight-knit but the CE thread gets a lot of outside traffic, so maybe being more explicit in the post there about taking the break would be a good idea.

Genuinely not trying to poo poo on you over anything, just noting it took me checking the discord that I haven't checked in months to find why the CE thread got locked.

At least this thread made me realize I didn't see or bookmark the August CE thread.

Zipped through the last four days worth of current events and I honestly think I'd be better off mentally if I didn't read about this lovely news and developments in our dumb lovely world

So I took a break. Had something to eat.

Professor Bling, I owe you an apology. You were being completely reasonable here and I was being a jackass. I'm sorry about that.

Yes, absolutely, I should have articulated my reason for closing the CE thread. I take the forum/discord overlap for granted and I need to be more mindful that what I say in there isn't available to everybody.

And then I cranked my assholery to 11.

I just wanted to make it clear I wasn't trying to be an rear end in a top hat this time, even if that first post about it may have come off that way.

Honestly, shootings like this one are a good argument for why, despite the poo poo we give them, cops are necessary.

We need cops for times when a fucker is murdering people rapidly and with wanton. We need cops less for busting people for harmless poo poo like weed, loitering, and [activity] while black.

So picking a mass shooting as reason to dunk on cops is a bit off to me. There are soooo many reasons to dunk on cops but at least bro-douche casual bigot cop is temporarily part of the fight against active shooters, even if he and the shooter both post racist memes?

I dunno. Mostly pissed some fragile white boy from elsewhere shot up my city because of those durn brown people.

it was more of a discord thing, there is a magical (for everyone but me) period from october-december 2017 where i was on a superyacht that just loving broke over and over and over and over, every spares order i made was delayed or denied and i think my record was going two whole days without the ship blacking out on me

then i got another job on a different yacht and within two weeks two of the generators had had major failures, not the 'oh you forgot to check the oil' type failure but 'the windings have burnt out, what the literal gently caress this is completely not operator error and yet it happened within weeks of you getting here'

basically, machinery around me breaks in hilarious ways

The other issue is that the cops seem to be strongly inclined to assist said right wing domestic terrorist organizations in any circumstance that isn't about an active shooter. Check out Portland PD coordinating with the Proud Boys for a recent egregious example.

The guy literally had a chance to save the lives of the kids he was supposed to protect. It had been 19 years since Columbine, 19 years since all training doctrine had changed. 19 years for him to be trained in the new active shooter response doctrine - go towards the gunfire and stop the threat. His reckless and cowardly actions almost assuredly let more people die than would have had he intervened. I suppose living with knowing that fact for the rest of his days would be an apt punishment. You're right. I was too flippant about suicide.

Don't pretend like he is the only example post-Columbine. No duty to protect, along with 'I ain't dying in no ghetto' breeds cowardice.

The other problem is is there's a whole fuckin bunch of them. Every cop that shoots a dog or an unarmed person should be charged not only with the crime but also the underlying discharge of a firearm reckless endangerment destruction everything and throw their asses in jail cuz if you're that big of a loving coward you don't deserve to walk the streets.

Yesterday, I was telling my wife how in "It Could Happen Here", one of the possible ignition points was having ANTIFA declared a terrorist group. That was his main one given for an expansion in Left wing violence. For the Right, it was the obvious, gun control. Seeing both happen it quick succession unnerved me a bit.

Also, if you haven't listened to it, check it out.

Related- do we have a list of recommended podcasts? Wasn't that a thread at some point, or am I making poo poo up in my memories?
